Pause.do

pause.do is a privacy-first browser extension designed to help users regain control over their online attention by introducing intentional pauses. Key features include: • 'Think First' pauses before engaging with high-drift sites or query interfaces • 'Scroll Pause' interruptions during extended content feeds • 'Session Nudge' alerts for prolonged application use • 'Tab Overload' notifications when too many tabs are open • 'Focus Limit' to support deep work sessions This tool doesn't block websites; instead, it creates small, deliberate moments for reflection, allowing users to consciously decide their next action. It helps combat endless scrolling and tab clutter by promoting awareness over compulsive engagement. The aim is to empower individuals to make mindful choices about how they spend their digital time. pause.do is ideal for anyone looking to reduce digital distractions, improve focus, and cultivate more intentional online habits. It's particularly useful for students, professionals, and creatives who need to maintain concentration and prevent digital drift during work or study. By turning everyday browsing into a visible journey, it enables users to observe their attention patterns and make informed adjustments. It provides insights through an 'Attention Map,' 'Patterns' analysis, 'Loop Detection' for tab switching, and 'App Insights' to understand site impact.
